A man dubbed the “faucet maniac” stole faucet covers in the men's bathroom at Terminal Campo Grande in Cariacica, Espírito Santo, leading to flooding. The incident took place last week, and the perpetrator remains unidentified. The transport company replaced the damaged parts on Tuesday, February 24.
The vandalism incident at Terminal Campo Grande in Cariacica, Espírito Santo, drew attention after a video captured the men's bathroom flooded. Three faucets were gushing water onto the floor, creating a large puddle. A man filming the scene narrated the event, calling the culprit the “faucet maniac” and voicing frustration over the act.
The Espírito Santo State Collective Passenger Transport Company (Ceturb-ES) confirmed the event occurred last week. Technicians from a contracted firm replaced all damaged faucets last Tuesday, February 24. The company noted that the faucets are made of plastic, pointing to deliberate sabotage.
The suspect has not been apprehended, partly because there are no surveillance cameras inside the bathrooms. Ceturb-ES issued an official statement on the repairs and the vandalism's nature. Metrópoles reached out to the Espírito Santo Civil Police for further information but received no response by the time of publication. The case is still under investigation.
